How can the free market address this issue when the government clearly knows what's best for us?

The government isn't stopping any one from doing this. Find a doctor that offers this service, pay for it out of pocket and it's yours. If enough doctors and people go this direction, it will become the norm.

$450 per year per person to cover your GP (does not include specialists, hospitals, sophisticated tests, or prescriptions) isn't something many families will elect to spend their discretionary income on.

Because it is more expensive. Companies won't pay for those kinds of expensive health care plans for their employees.
